From HEXONET Wiki

.ASIA is a sponsored TLD serving as a regional domain for companies, organizations, and individuals based in Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. DotAsia is the Sponsoring Organisation and Registry Operator for the .Asia. The updated Charter Eligibility Requirement Policies allows for "entities seeking relationship or presence in Asia" to register a .Asia domain without a pre-existing address or ID.

Domain Transfer

The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.A valid Authorization Code must be provided to initiate a transfer successfully. You may obtain the authorization code from the losing registrar.As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar. If the registry receives neither a denial ("NACK") nor an approval ("ACK") the transfer will be ACKed after 5 days.

Please note that HEXONET is acting in compliance with ICANN Transfers Guidelines. The respective policies can be viewed under http://www.icann.org/transfers/ :

As soon as you have submitted a transfer request, the HEXONET system will send an email to the domain registrant/administrative contact, asking for approval. As soon as this email has been confirmed, the transfer is initiated through the official registry and the losing registrar will receive the transfer request. The losing registrar will then send an email to the domain registrant/administrative contact, allowing him/her to cancel or deny the pending transfer. If there is no response received within 5 days, the transfer will automatically be processed.

If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, then the transfer cannot be processed. If this is the case, then kindly contact your current registrar and ask them to update the WHOIS information accordingly. If you do not know the name of the registrar simply perform a WHOIS search at http://www.hexonet.net/

TLD specific

The updated Charter Eligibility Requirement Policies allows for "entities seeking relationship or presence in Asia" to register a .Asia domain without a pre-existing address or ID. This means that since July 15, 2017 the Asia Pacific locality checks during the .Asia domain registration process are no longer required.

RegistrarOC

ICANN Whois Data Reminder Policy (WDRP)

At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of his domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections.

ICANN Registrar Data Escrow Program (RDE)

Under the data escrow provision of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), all ICANN-accredited registrars must regularly deposit a backup copy of their gTLD registration data with ICANN through ICANN's arrangement with Iron Mountain or they may elect to use a Third Party Provider of RDE services that has been approved by ICANN.

Restore Process

To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
